    The rebate is kind of a PITA, you have to go to their site and sign up just to get the address and form you mail in.

    Also note that today's 24 hour Newegg promo is for the 400W version, $39.99 With Promo Code EMCMLMP32, $19.99 After $20.00 MIR

    Pretty basic PSU, but Hardware Secrets seems to like it a lot for the $$. http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/article/794

    #2 that's a pretty damn stellar review for the 400 Watt model.

    Hope the 500 Watt isn't a slacker.

    500W probably the exact same thing, except maybe slightly larger capacity capacitors, rectifier, transformer, etc... to the point you'd have to look close to see the difference.

    If you need 500W you have no choice, but for a low end gaming or non-gaming system the 400W should be enough.

    I don't agree with the review that it'd such a great deal at the $55 regular price, BUT I'd be comparing against deal prices, not full retail prices. A deal on a more expensive PSU bringing it down to $40 will potentially result in a better PSU than either of these, but for $20 AR you seldom see anything substantially better.
